On July 31, Gran Turismo Sport players on Playstation 4 will get a new update. Dubbed 1.41, the update comes with several changes, including five brand new cars to be added to the roster.
In a blogpost by Polyphony Digital's president Kazunori Yamauchi, published one day ahead of the release, all the five cars have been revealed: 1966 Honda S800, 1998 Honda Civic Type R, 1954 Jaguar D-type, Mazda Roadster Touring Car, and 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo (930).
"This month's update includes a selection of new cars including the iconic Honda Civic Type R (EK) loved for its lightweight and compact chassis paired with a lively high revving VTEC engine," the executive said in a statement.
"In addition, Porsche fans will be able to enjoy driving the first Porsche production car which featured a turbocharged engine in the form of the 911 Turbo (930). The update will be available for everyone to enjoy tomorrow, July 31."
The Porsche addition is of particular interest for fans of both the game and the car brand. The 911 included in this update is the first Porsche production car which featured a turbocharged engine.
The model used in the game is the one produced until 1989. Powered by a 3.3-liter engine, the car developed 295 bhp and was for the better part of its life the top of the range in its lineup.
Aside for the new cars, Yamauchi also announced there would be five more rounds added to the GT League, including new rounds of the World Hatchback Championship, Nostalgia 1979 and X2019 Competition Endurance Series.
Last time we heard news from Polyphony about this game was in November last year, when the 2009 Pagani Zonda R led the pack of new cars that also included the 1984 Ferrari GTO and 2008 Maserati GranTurismo.
Gran Turismo Sport launched on PS4 in October 2017 and in just a few months there were more than five million players taking part in the online competitions.
